The CIHR Institute of Gender and Health (CIHR-IGH) will fund applications that are relevant to its mandate and research priorities, as described in our new Research Priority Plan, and that are aligned with at least one of the following research areas.

The CIHR Institute of Health Services and Policy Research (CIHR-IHSPR) will provide funding for applications that are relevant to the Institute’s mandate, CIHR’s definition of health services research (Pillar 3) and one or more of the following prioritized topics:

1. Innovations in how to organize, finance, manage and deliver health care that achieve the Quadruple Aim, improve equity, and are accountable to patients and the public in the following areas:
   ¿ Integration of care (including integrated delivery systems, continuity of care, and/or integration of upstream prevention approaches within health care delivery settings that address the social determinants of health);
   ¿ Primary care (in the context of health care delivery), and home, community, and long-term care.
   ¿ The health care workforce (including, funding and remuneration, training and support, such as leadership training incorporating equity, diversity and inclusion, scopes of practice, interdisciplinary collaboration, and data systems for planning).
2. Implementation, evaluation and/or scale and spread of digital health solutions that aim to support a strong digital health ecosystem in Canada and to improve health and patient/provider experience outcomes. Examples of such solutions may include virtual care technologies (e.g., e-referral, e-consult, remote monitoring solutions) and system-level solutions/frameworks for data sharing, data governance structures, interoperability of health data and information systems and patient-centric health information architectures that enhance access of patient data to patients themselves and their providers.
3.

The CIHR Institute of Infection and Immunity (CIHR-III) will fund applications that are determined to be specifically relevant to its mandate and its 2021-2026 Strategic Plan, with a primary focus on biomedical research in which the objective and aims are directed towards building foundational knowledge in immunology and/or infectious diseases.

This Priority Announcement will prioritize funding for research in the following research areas:

• Infection:
o Zoonotic or vector-borne transmission of pathogens in the context of Global Climate Change;
o Understanding functional genomics and/or molecular epidemiology of emerging/re-emerging pathogens;
o Resistance to fungal infections and/or the role of bacteriophages in combatting antimicrobial resistance (AMR).
• Immunity:
o Immune mechanisms involved in the development of trained innate immunity;
o Immune mechanisms involved in the development and maintenance of tissue-specific immunity;
o Metabolic regulation of immune cells and processes (immunometabolism).
